Centrifugation liver support using regional mesylate anticoagulation is safe for liver failure patients with high risk of bleeding

Centrifugation liver support using regional mesylate anticoagulation is safe for liver failure patients with high risk of bleeding
2025-04-10
(Press-News.org) Background and objectives Patients with acute liver failure (ALF) or acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) are at high risk of bleeding with traditional artificial liver support systems. To address the bleeding risk in liver failure patients, the safety of regional mesylate anticoagulation (RMA) in centrifugation artificial liver support systems (cALSS) is proposed for study.

Methods In this prospective single-arm study, ALF and ACLF patients were treated with cALSS using RMA. Coagulation function was monitored, and the predictors of mesylate dose were analyzed using the area under the curve (AUC). Blood ammonia, model for end-stage liver disease scores, and survival rates at 28 and 90 days were assessed.

Results All 57 patients showed no new bleeding within 24 h post-cALSS. Most disseminated intravascular coagulation indicators improved at 0.5 h and 24 h post-cALSS. Thromboelastography showed hypocoagulability at 0.5 h post-cALSS. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified pre-R and pre-MA as key factors for R exceeding 10 m at 0.5 h post-cALSS, with odds ratios of 0.91 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.84–0.98) and 2.03 (95% CI: 1.05–3.90), respectively, P < 0.05. The predictive values were pre-MA ≤ 38 mm (AUC = 0.817, 95% CI [0.690–0.907], P < 0.001) and pre-R > 6.3 m (AUC = 0.790, 95% CI [0.661–0.888], P < 0.001). Patients showed improvements in blood ammonia and model for end-stage liver disease scores after the last session, especially those with high initial levels (>80 µmol/L and >30). The 28-day and 90-day survival rates of ALF patients were similar to those of ACLF patients.

Conclusions cALSS with RMA is safe for liver failure patients with a high risk of bleeding. Adjusting the mesylate dose based on pre-R and pre-MA enhances safety.

New platform leverages AI and quantum computing to predict salmonella antimicrobial resistance

New platform leverages AI and quantum computing to predict salmonella antimicrobial resistance
2025-04-10
A recent study published in Engineering presents a novel approach to predict Salmonella antimicrobial resistance, a growing concern for public health. The research, led by Le Zhang from Sichuan University, combines large language models (LLMs) and quantum computing to develop a predictive platform. Salmonella is a common foodborne pathogen. The overuse of antimicrobials and genetic mutations have led to the rise of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella strains, making it crucial to predict resistance accurately for effective treatment. However, traditional methods like bacterial antimicrobial susceptibility tests (ASTs) are inefficient, ...

Transplanting Posidonia oceanica: a major scientific advance for the conservation of seagrass meadows

Transplanting Posidonia oceanica: a major scientific advance for the conservation of seagrass meadows
2025-04-10
A study has resulted in the transplantation of 384 m² of Posidonia oceanica seagrass on the scale of an industrial project as part of maritime works in Monaco. This success challenges the idea that these ecosystems are "non-transplantable". This unprecedented experiment, conducted over a period of eight years, opens up new prospects for the preservation of seagrass meadows threatened by coastal urbanisation. As part of the construction project for the "Mareterra" district in Monaco, the marine works involved the destruction of several hectares of Posidonia oceanica meadows, an underwater plant essential to the Mediterranean ...

Patients experience of healthcare should be a greater part of assessing quality
2025-04-10
Everyone wants good quality healthcare, but what exactly is quality and how do you measure it? Is it to do with the waiting time for home care services? Or how many nursing home residents have had medical supervision in the past year? Or whether the medication lists have been checked recently? “These are important aspects that are all worth monitoring. The problem is that quality cannot be easily reduced to a quantifiable value,”said Randi Olsson Haave, an assistant professor and PhD research fellow at the Norwegian University of Science ...

The patient presented with a fever, and a complete blood count showed cytopenia. Bone marrow morphologic evaluation revealed numerous blasts. ...

Poo-romising frontier in fecal microbiota transplantation

Poo-romising frontier in fecal microbiota transplantation
2025-04-10
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a widespread bacterial infection associated with gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer. While conventional antibiotic-based treatments have been the gold standard for eradication, their efficacy has been steadily declining due to the alarming rise in antibiotic resistance. This has spurred interest in alternative therapies, one of which is fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). FMT is a novel therapeutic approach that involves transferring microbiota from a healthy donor to a patient’s ...

A new approach to differentiating large granular lymphocytic leukemias and their mimics in light of current updates in the 5th Edition of the WHO Classification

2025-04-10
Large granular lymphocytic leukemias (LGLLs) are a heterogeneous group of rare chronic lymphoproliferative disorders characterized by the clonal proliferation of cytotoxic lymphocytes. Among them, T-cell LGLL (T-LGLL) and NK-cell LGLL (NK-LGLL) are the most prominent. Due to overlapping morphological, clinical, and immunophenotypic characteristics, distinguishing these disorders from related entities such as T-prolymphocytic leukemia (T-PLL), adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), Sézary syndrome (SS), and aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKL) presents a significant diagnostic challenge. This review integrates recent molecular insights and updates from the WHO 5th edition ...

Simple and cost-effective reporter assay for evaluating chemical-induced epigenetic changes
2025-04-10
Chemicals used as food preservatives, flavoring agents, dyes, pesticides, cosmetics, cleaners, and other industrial materials are being increasingly recognized as a health hazard. Their rampant use has led to an increase in the prevalence of various chemical toxicity-induced diseases, including hormonal disruption, cancer, neurological disorders, skin conditions, and occupational poisoning. Numerous chemicals are known to trigger “carcinogenesis” or cancer development by exerting genotoxic effects (direct or indirect interference with DNA replication and damage repair processes ...
